Occasionally more distant cancers may seed these lymph nodes, such as genital cancers or colon cancer. Some benign causes of the swollen lymph nodes above the collar bone (clavicle) can include tuberculosis or sarcoidosis.
1855970 tn?1325823613 The only lab that was abnormal was my liver protein, it was a little high. But I've heard that can be caused by being overweight. I'm going to family planning on Jan 16 for a complete physical... As much a I'm dreading this appointment, I know I'll feel better if they figure out what's wrong. I've read about hypothyroid and I have a lot of the symptoms, but the doctor said that my thyroid is fine... So said the one blood test done for my thyroid.
Avatar m tn If you have swollen lymph nodes and changes in your tongue, I would strongly advise you to see your primary care physician as soon as possible as this might be a manifestation of tongue cancer. It also might be something as simple as a tongue infection, but evaluation by a physician would be needed to help you with your problem.
Avatar f tn Two months later my tongue is not better, my sore throat has gotten worse where my lymph nodes are swollen and my neck muscles are sore. I am not getting proper rest because my neck muscles are sore, I feel like I have an earache and I have frequent headaches. For two weeks now I have been having cramps, I figured because I was getting my period. I finished my period a couple days ago and I am still feeling a bit discomfort by my lower stomach area.
Avatar f tn I have a skin coloured bump that has been on the tongue for over a month.
Avatar m tn condom ripped while having vaginal sex, i got so stressed. i developed white tongue in 2 weeks, lymph nodes behind ear , neck and groin. had muscle ached and weird skin pimples. anyway, this is where it bagan, but now 3 months later, all symptoms still there, the right side of my tongue, at the back is the only spot not covered in a white coating, but the papillae are enlarged, it kinda feels sore. and the inside of my cheeks is turning black and so is the roof of my mouth.
Avatar n tn So while your sonogram *looks* as if the big node could be cancer, and also the nodes behave as if their might be spreading cancer, the biopsy pretty much rules out cancer. What I described above about EBV is rare, and a doc would maybe tend to discount that. But this does provide an alternative explanation for your nodes. That's complicated, but it's possible. If it was an easy diagnosis, your doc would have found the diagnosis by now.
Avatar f tn Why would they not be worried about solid lymph nodes on the same side as the breast mass? And-- my surgeon assured me that there is no possibility of seeding breast cancer through needle biopsy, but I've read numerous reports that say otherwise-- is it possible?
Avatar n tn bih=638) Breast cancer primarily occur in lymph nodes under the arm (axillary nodes), lymph nodes around the collar bone (supraclavicular and infraclavicular lymph nodes), and llymph nodes inside the chest near the breast bone (internal mammary lymph nodes). If you have nipple discharge, flaking of the nipples, and painless lumps, that is definitely a sign of cancer.
Avatar m tn However, as you know, cancer can also lead to enlarged lymph nodes. You should definitely have this mass biopsied to get an answer and appropriate care. I am glad that you have an ent physician that is trying to get you efficient and appropriate care. Good luck.
Avatar f tn Hi, Not all nodules refer cancer. Depends if you find an enlargement with the thyroid being palpated or not. Or a solitary where thyroid is not palpated. The common way of recognizing thyroid cancer is the visibility of the lump when swallowing. No not all nodules and lymph node abnormalities relate to cancer. Thyroglossal Cyst may present with an enlargement . If u have a fever or sore throat, may have presence of abnormal nodes.
Avatar m tn sonogram (2 large left cervical lymph nodes may require biopsy 14mm & 16mm) blood work was in normal range I will list most items below. My doctor referred me to ENT. I visited two ENTs both surgeons, first one said he thought it was a tongue muscle which me and my wife explained to him could not be because it was spherical he disregarded it and said I was fine. The second said he "thought" it was a salivary gland but ordered a ct scan to be sure.
Avatar f tn Please go and get yourself checked. It may well be nothing more than an infection of some sort, but if you have lung cancer you shouldn't have your immune system compromised if possible. I always act on the better safe then sorry philosophy.
461010 tn?1208482459 i had a protected sex but i am just scared of what i am feeling. i have swollen lymph nodes and some sore on the tongue. I am worried this might the symptom that i have contracted HIV. i have done test at 4 or 5 weeks, but they are negative. At one stage I thought maybe it might be a throat cancer, because there was agreat pain in my ears also which I think was caused by throat sore. Will this be symptom for HIV.
Avatar n tn Can anxiety about poss health problems cause pain/tingling in the neck, behind ears, under arms and behind knees? My lymph nodes are not swollen but are uncomfortable with this tingling/pain. I also am getting burning sensation/tingling in my lips and tongue, again can this be related to anxiety??
Avatar f tn I don't really see any connection to breast cancer from what you describe especially with your history of Fibrocystic Breast Condition. The swolled lymph nodes may be another issue entirely and have nothing to do with your breasts. Lymph nodes become enlarged when there is an infection somewhere in the body. Since you have prescribed an anitbiotic this may clear things up as far as the lymph nodes are concerned. Regards ....
Avatar m tn We are coming up on 4 weeks now, and now swollen lymph nodes, flu like symptoms, not feeling well, Geographic Tongue with a split down the middle, and throat pain. I also forgot to mention, although I'm not sure if this is related to ARS, but I've had a pressure like feeling in my ears, like water is stuck in there, making my head hurt. I'm losing it TEAK. I really am Convinced. Do you know about the Geographic tongue and pressure in ears>?
1435527 tn?1283621533 This could be swollen lymph nodes or cysts. Lymph nodes become swollen if your body is fighting an infection, sometimes even with a simple cold. If they persist, you should have them checked out by your doctor. Good luck.
655242 tn?1229472744 The doctor felt one of the lymph nodes and said it was swollen and did not seem too concerned but said she would just check it again in 3 weeks. I forgot to tell her that for about 2 years I have had a pea sized hard lump on the floor of my mouth its gets smaller and bigger but never totally goes away. Of course you cant see it but i can feel it with my tongue. I have had an ENT check it out before and he said it was nothing. I guess I will let my GP know this when I go back in 3 weeks.
Avatar f tn Hi- I'm a 25 year old female. Very active, very healthy...not overweight (115 lbs). I don't smoke, drink, or take drugs. I have no family history of cancer. Both parents are alive and well. No medical problems except I am homozygous for factor V leiden (dx Feb 2012 by blood tests after 2nd blood clot as a result of birth control which I am no longer taking). It all started in June when I noticed hard tiny (about the size of a pea) lymph nodes in my groin area.
Avatar n tn The only thing that makes me doubt the results is my abnormally white and dry tongue, and my unchanging enlarged pelvic lymph nodes. the white film does not come off with abrasion. I am very nervous about this. Could you tell me if hairy leukoplakia is a initial sign of hiv infection or if that is typically something that shows up after one has been infected for a long period of time?
Avatar m tn How to Know When to See a Doctor for Painful Lymph Nodes Your lymph nodes filter out bacteria and viruses from your body. Lymph nodes are located throughout your body, with the largest located under your arms, in your neck and in your groin. When lymph nodes are painful, it is a sign that you have some type of infection which the nodes are trying to fight off. The type and severity of the infection and the presence of accompanying symptoms determines when you should see a doctor.
